In my time of dying
I don't want no one to mourn,
all I want for you to do, is to take my body home.

Well well well,
so I can die easy,
Jesus gonna take me,
Jesus gonna make me a dying bed.


Take me Jesus take me,
take me in the middle of the air,
and if these wings should fail me now
won't you take me away from here.

Well well well,
so I can die easy,
Jesus gonna take me,
Jesus gonna make me a dying bed.



In my time of dying,
I don't want no one to cry,
all I want for you to do
is to take me when I die.

Well well well,
so I can die easy,
Jesus gonna take me,
Jesus gonna make me a dying bed.
